There is some semantics going on
Jesus died for the greater glory of God
showing mercy to us is just close to the apex of God's glory
so.... Jesus died for God's glory as an overarching first purpose and to that end died for us... but as a secondary reason
"He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name sake'
Ps 22
So Jesus died for his own glory. And you think that to be a good cause.
I guess you do not recognize that you are just using Jesus as your scapegoat and that is why what you are doing is immoral.
Having another innocent person suffer for the wrongs you have done, --- so that you might escape responsibility for having done them, --- is immoral.
You ignore a lot of your bible if you do not repent.
Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Deuteronomy 24:16 (ESV) "Fathers shall not be put to death because of their children, nor shall children be put to death because of their fathers. Each one shall be put to death for his own sin.
Ezekiel 18:20 (ESV) The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.
Give your moral argument against those scriptures so that I can easily refute it.
